Mindful Giving Update

Category: Uncategorized Tags: , , , , Leave a Comment

Your generous donations this November during our MINDFUL GIVING service project raised enough money to purchase 48 lights for the staff at Nyaka School in Uganda Africa.  The staff wanted us to see photos of the reception in which they received their lights.  Thank you to everyone for the donations which brought light to this community of learners.

Two Acts of Mindful Giving

Category: Uncategorized Tags: , , , , Leave a Comment

The students in our classroom took the challenge to support our schoolwide service projects, PE Cares and SPARK, very seriously!  

As a class, our goal was to collect 60 nonperishable food items.  Amazingly, over 140 items were donated, which will supply local families with much needed food.

Our other goal was to raise $60 for the SPARK Foundation.  Again, the generosity of our students and their families was above and beyond as we collected $120, which will provide 4 rechargeable solar lights for schools in Uganda!

Thank you for helping others, both locally and globally! 🙂
